  • Disgusting promotes violence

    Was listening to the July 9th episode and this creature thinks it was good a political figure was assassinated in the French Revolution because she does not like his ideology. I am beyond disgusted and the constant insults at American Republicans is ridiculous. This is the type of claptrap that incites violence because it tells other lower functioning individuals that prescribe to this way of thinking that violence is acceptable. Well it isn’t. I have lost any respect had for this podcaster and ... more

  • History:Gossip about the dead

    I was a history major; 3.94 GPA at the end of my college career; Olivet College 2007–teaching degree.

    I know how to research. I know how to write. I wish this podcast had been around during my college years! This woman completely understands her subjects and makes them current. I know many of these topics inside out and backward, but using trends and current language to bring everyone to life is brilliant. (I did this, too, during my teaching era.)

    I am thoroughly impressed by the quality of ... more

  • Enjoyable

    I did enjoy this podcast I listened to the Mary Queen Of Scot series the story’s are very good and told in a very non boring way ( other history podcasts are extremely boring) But I did find it very biased. I know it’s a feminist podcast. But I feel there is more emphasis on hating men than just telling the story. Personally I prefer to just hear the facts and make up my own mind.

  • Basically, like…no.

    I wanted to like this podcast, but the amateur presentation makes it hard to listen. The constant use of ‘like’ and ‘basically’ in nearly every sentence is incredibly distracting. The host is clearly passionate about history, but the delivery doesn’t work for anyone over the age of 12.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Jane Austen: The Life of a Regency Era Literary Icon
Q: What does her writing tell us about her views on women's roles?
She portrays heroines that are flawed and not just beautiful, challenging the notion held by male writers of her time and advocating for realism about women's lives.
Jane Austen: The Life of a Regency Era Literary Icon
Q: Could you tell me, I'm just curious to know, do you remember when you first read a Jane Austen book, how old you were?
I was 14. I did not have that (a great English teacher), I had the opposite. I took myself to night school when I was 14, and went to school at night, and I read Mansfield Park with an amazing teacher, and that's how I met Jane Austen when I was 14.
How Benjamin Franklin Tried (And Failed) To Conquer Canada
Q: Why was Franklin sent to Paris after the failed invasion?
He was sent to seek support for the American Revolution, but he continued to promote the idea of annexing Canada during the negotiations.
How Benjamin Franklin Tried (And Failed) To Conquer Canada
Q: What went wrong with the invasion of Canada?
There was bad intelligence, lack of resources, poorly equipped troops for winter, and the Continental Army was not unified.
How Benjamin Franklin Tried (And Failed) To Conquer Canada
